Description
A distinctive Amorgos liqueur made from the island's abundant prickly pears (fragosyka), blended with grape distillate, honey and local herbs. Sweet and fruity, with the same honeyed warmth as Amorgion's rakomelo but built around the fruit rather than spice.

Amorgion is a family distillery from the small Cycladic island of Amorgos, founded by Antonis Vekris in the early 2000s and based in Katapola. The starting point was a local remedy known as psimeni raki (or vrastari) — grape-pomace raki boiled with honey, cinnamon and cloves, traditionally used on the island both to soothe a sore throat and to welcome guests, including at the island's Monastery of Panagia Chozoviotissa. Amorgion built its range around that tradition, sweetening its grape distillate with honey and a mix of eight local herbs rather than sugar, and later extended the same approach to other Amorgos ingredients such as prickly pear.
